CRUX

“No new binding for 2018/19 won as many members of our Test Team over, making the Rome Crux a no-brainer for this year’s Whitelines 100. “

The Rome Crux features a simpler (but still effective) version of the brand’s signature ‘Asymwrap’ chassis. The metal heelcup doesn’t extend out towards the front of the baseplate on the outside of each foot as it does with the more techy ‘Underwrap’ design, and instead joins the baseplate closer to your heels. This gives you plenty of lateral movement, allowing you to easily shift your weight from the hose to the tail for a surfier ride.
